Two-car Collision Injures Police Officer

A police officer and a Hollywood man were injured on Sunday night after the man's pickup crashed into the police officer's car.

Officer Joseph Mogavero had to be cut out of his car as a result of the accident, which occurred shortly after 10 p.m.

Mogavero was driving west along State Road 84 in his marked police car, and Earnest Franklin Rainey, 41, was driving east on that road in a white 1995 Ford pickup. When Rainey tried to turn north onto Southwest Fourth Avenue, he struck the police cruiser, police said.

Both drivers were taken to Broward General Medical Center. The officer was treated and released. Rainey was listed in fair condition.
